Other stanzas of Moore and others have the formulas a a b a b c c c4 d3 (Burns, p. 216), a b ~ a a4 b ~3 c d d4 c3, a a b4 c2 b4 c2 d d4 c2, a4 b3 a a4 c ~3 c ~ d ~ d ~2 b3 &c. (cf. Metrik, ii, § 478)
§ 294. The ten-line stanzas are also based mostly on a combination of earlier strophic systems. Thus in Campbell’s well-known poem, Ye Mariners of England (p. 71), the Poulter’s Measure rhythm is observable, the scheme being a ~ b3 c4 d3 . e4 f3 . e2 F3 G4 F3:
Ye Mariners of England!
That guard our native seas;
Whose flag has braved, a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze!
Your glorious standard launch again
To match another foe!
And sweep through the deep,
While the stormy winds do blow;
